FAQs
What is IRS Due Diligence and why is it so important for tax professionals?
IRS due diligence refers to specific requirements tax professionals must meet when preparing returns that claim the Earned Income Credit (EIC), Child Tax Credit (CTC), American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC), or Head of Household (HOH) status.
You are legally obligated under IRC §6695(g) and Treasury Reg. §1.6695-2 to properly interview, document, and evaluate eligibility for these credits. Failing to meet these obligations can result in substantial penalties — even if the tax return is accurate.
What are the penalties for noncompliance with IRS due diligence?
The IRS may audit up to 25 files, and for each file, you can be assessed up to 4 separate $635 penalties, totaling up to $2,540 per file. That’s a maximum exposure of $63,500 for one audit.
Here are the 4 key due diligence penalties:
- Knowledge Standard Violation (you knew or should have known the claim was incorrect)
- Failure to Complete Form 8867
- Failure to Keep Proper Records
- Failure to Ask Adequate Questions/Document Responses
Refer to IRC §6695(g) and IRS Pub 4687 for more.
What happens if I fail to meet due diligence requirements set forth by the IRS?
Failing to meet IRS due diligence requirements can lead to serious consequences, including:
- Suspension or expulsion from the IRS e-file program
- Disciplinary action by the IRS Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR)
- Injunctions barring you from preparing tax returns for others
- Criminal penalties for filing fraudulent returns
Compliance is critical to maintain your professional standing and avoid these risks.
